Left turn Dumba$$es
On another forum which I frequent, I occasionally... cough, er, em, okay a LOT of the time, I post my rants about stuff that pisses me off. Well, they have become sort of the RMurphy Dumba$$es Series now. I thought I might share with you my latest Dumba$$es rant/post.
This one includes video.
WARNING... WARNING.... CUSSING CAN BE HEARD VERY CLEARLY IN THIS VIDEO. IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY HEARING A MIDDLE AGED WOMAN GRIPING, MUTTERING AND USING THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN COUPLED WITH THE F-WORD, TURN OFF THE SOUND.

I have this nifty dash cam thing that I picked up for all of $69 and I love it. It even has an input for a second camera which you can mount wherever you like (typically rear facing out the back window). Anyway, here is some footage I captured last night.
Driving after work yesterday. Some idiot is tailgating me in the slow lane (of all places!) so I change lanes to let him tailgate someone else, right? Thought I was safe. Things start getting entertaining about the 39-40 second mark. Watch very closely and you can just barely see as a VERY dark car enters the road from the left, crosses two lanes of traffic, but is very difficult to see (gee... wonder why) and only detectable by the fact that he blocks the view of the oncoming headlights in the process. Now, I didn't see that at the time it was happening. I notice him about the 45-47 second mark in the left hand turn lane. No tail lights. No signal. Did I mention dark colored car? Numbnuts decides to see if I'm paying attention, I guess.
Me blowing the horn was more of an afterthought to make my point, not to alert him to stop (since he already had at that point). Danged fool made me dump my purse on the floor into the passenger footwell. I hate that. Grr. I muttered obscenities about that driver's entire family tree for at least the next three minutes or so.

Hey, we need a new computer network goddess. Our last one just retired.

ahh my dear Ms Murphy, I suspect you would not enjoy the driving experience here in Massachusetts and especially in urban Boston.
I have thought of getting a dash cam but aimed at the lane to my right.
A little push button auto uplink to the state cops for those folks texting away or reading their paperback.

I like your videos. I think you have the basis for a new show on the Speed Channel. It could use something other than NASCAR.
A half hour of Driving LA cuts with commentary. I think it's a winner.
